In the previous "old boys" series of the forum, one of the members said at that time that he removed the pollen filter all together, it gave an improved airflow and better heating results, might be I'll do the same when filter is clogged up. (There is one big dilemma however, how do I know it's clogged up when I'm too lazy to open up the unit ???? Let the next Sherlock rise and give me the solution.)

Just been to check. It's a 6mm hex.
I've got that size in my 1/4" drive socket set.
I put all my inch stuff in the cupboard at the back of the garage a long time ago as none of them fit properly on anything metric (even if I think that it does)
Too many skinned knuckles when the damn thing slips off!
Hope this helps.
Hoo-ah!

On mine (2001) they are just normal phillips-head screws. probably what was lying around on the floor when it was built.

Mr Frustrated here,
Just been out with my 1/4 inch drive 6mm socket and no joy,
it wont fit in the recess the head fits into, no supprise I guess,
I tried a 5.5mm socket and it fits the recess but not the head,
if I purchase one of these thin walled sockets would that do the job??

or do I have other options I havent thought of yet??
Not including burning it...
Thanks in advance for your thoughts..

Wow - this is an old thread - I hope you haven't been struggling with this since last December.
Yes - you need a thin-walled socket set to get at the little rascals.

The only other ones I can think of immediately are some of the jubilee hose clips that have quite small clearance between the hex and the band.
I have 3 different sizes on my engine and the strong 1/4 drive don't fit them all.
